LAYTON— Police have identified the 15-year-old boy who fell while hiking in Adams Canyon.

Adam Patrick McBride, of Washington Terrace, died of his injuries on Sunday from multiple injuries he sustained after falling about 80 feet on Saturday evening. He had been hiking with a group of friends at the waterfall in Adams Canyon, according to Davis County Sheriff’s Sgt. Susan Poulsen.

A medical helicopter hoisted the teen out of the canyon and took him to Primary Children’s Hospital.
